For years, Rex Mirza has been controlling every aspect of his twin brother’s life. Using the fact that Tavi is a magicless witch — a mere human — in a family of powerful witches, he has justified every harsh treatment. All of it is only for Tavi’s own good, of course. How could a human possibly know what was best for him?When Tavi gets the chance to turn the tables on his brother, will he take … he take it? Or will he take the punishment Rex says is due for trying to run away?

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I started listening to this audiobook but I loved it. Some people my not like the taboo topic but I thought it was great and the way Tavi turned things back around on Rex was fantastic.
Tavi is the human twin of Rex who is a witch and they’re from a family of powerful witches.
Rex has been in his mind trying to protect/discipline Tavi for years when in all truth he has just been controlling him and Tavi has had enough.
By accident things turn in Tavi’s favor and and the tables are turned.
I’m excited to listen to Take.
So very dark and perfect! I loved every word!
This story is unique and very different, it takes you on a journey, that just draws you along. Rex and Tavi are both strong characters. Can’t wait to read more
The realness of the emotional struggles and workings of the mind. I also liked the ABDL kink
This brought out my sadistic side just a bit and I loved it. I was glad that Tavi got the chance to show Rex how wrong his treatment of Tavi was. They all (family, except for his sister) treated him like a child with intelligence deficit just because Tavi didn’t manifest powers. It seems Rex still needs more education on that subject. I look forward to the next book. I voluntarily listened and reviewed this book and am giving an honest review.
Want, the first book in R. Phoenix’s The Need Trilogy, lays down the foundation of the story of the Mirza twins. One born with magic and the other only human. With all the complex layers in this relationship, as well as the aspects of their personalities which are beginning to emerge, there’s a fascinating dynamic developing between the brothers.
Being a human man, Tavi has spent his life effectively enslaved by his brother Rex. When the opportunity arises to trade places, Tavi takes advantage and makes it happen. While maintaining the charade turns out to be another huge hurdle, Tavi is willing to explore every avenue to keep it going.
As the story unfolds, we get a fair idea of the treatment Tavi has endured under his brother’s care. While there’s no doubt Tavi consented to some of the things Rex did to him, the continual degradation and lack of control have had a lasting effect on his psyche. After years of having no power, becoming the caregiver and reducing Rex to total dependence just fuels Tavi’s craving to be the one in charge. And he likes it!
Looking through Tavi’s eyes, it’s impossible not to revel in Rex getting a taste of his own medicine. (I have to admit, watching Rex come out of his initial stupor and wrap his head around what’s happening to him is particularly delectable.)
R. Phoenix doesn’t pull any punches when exploring what each twin is going through. Exchanging roles impacts the foundation of every aspect of their relationship, and raises a host of emotions. They also have to come to grips with their sexual desires and all the sensations they’re experiencing.
Want is the perfect story to enjoy as an audiobook. There are so many nuances of this intriguing plot which are enhanced by Kenneth Obi’s wonderful narration. He infuses these unique characters with distinct personalities and brings them to life. Mr. Obi makes the most of the emotions in each twin’s voice as they process each development and discover aspects of their personalities they’d never have imagined. This is the kind of story which really lets Obi show his skill.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming release of the audiobook edition of Take, the next volume in this trilogy. I can only guess at the long term repercussions of the twins changing places, not to mention how their dark, taboo relationship progresses.
It’s so good!!!
Tavi and Rex are quite the pair. I loved how we got their history throughout the story rather than it being all laid out at once. What I truly enjoyed is seeing the struggles. No, not their styles with each other, though the mental ones were awesome. It’s the way they fight their own desires. And what’s up with Desi? What did she see and their sister suspect? Yes, I will be anxiously awaiting the next book. This book does give a resolved for now ending but you will need to read the next ones to get a true conclusion to the story.
